La Luna Tequilana is an artisanal joven mezcal from Michoacán made from Agave tequilana, the blue Weber agave best known for tequila, but crafted the slow, traditional mezcal way. It is bottled at 48.51% ABV (97 proof).
The agave was farmed in Indaparapeo, Michoacán. It was cooked for 168 hours, rested for 144 hours after cooking and fermented for 288 hours, a patient process that turns the familiar sweetness of blue agave into something richer, earthier and gently smoky.
La Luna works with small producers across Michoacán, bottling single-agave and ensamble mezcals that show the diversity of the state's agaves and traditions, and its Tequilana is one of its most intriguing releases.
It is a revealing bottle for tequila drinkers who want to taste how mezcal methods transform the same plant.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
